Yes and no. In some ways, I feel the less obvious, more insidious kinds of misogynistic thought, the kinds people generally don’t even realize they have, are just as bad as the craziness.

Why ‘just as bad’?

It still works to oppress women, even if only subconsciously, and it is harder to find and call out for the very fact that it isn’t extreme and loud.

It also is less harmful, though apparently you don’t think that.

For example, compare the default gender for pronouns being masculine to a law criminalizing the education of women. Would you say those are both equally harmful?
